Netflix June 2021: Our Picks & Highlights

Since everyone is (still mostly) staying home because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, I’m sure you won’t want to waste time sifting through Netflix’s extensive catalogue of shows and movies just to decide on what to watch. The streaming giant updates its site every day, week, and month with new content, so I’m here to save your precious time.

Here are my personal recommendations and highlights for Netflix Malaysia’s June 2021 lineup and how to fill up your free time with worthwhile content at home:

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal The Movie (3 June 2021)

Studio Deen and Toei Animation’s Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal The Movie was originally supposed to release in 2020, but now it’s officially going to premiere globally (outside of Japan) on Netflix on 3 June 2021.

Based on the ‘Dream Arc’ of the original hit manga series, the two-part movie is about the Sailor Guardians’ growth, both as teenage girls and as Sailor Guardians, as well as the faint first love of Chibi-Usa and Helios. As the new moon obscures the sun and gradually dims its light, Usagi and Chibi-Usa encounter a mysterious Pegasus named Helios, who is in search of the chosen Maiden who can break the seal of the Golden Crystal.

Meanwhile, a mysterious troupe called the Dead Moon Circus appears in town, hatching a nefarious plan to scatter the nightmare incarnations known as Lemures, seize the Legendary Silver Crystal, rule over the moon and the earth, and eventually dominate the entire universe.

Sweet Tooth (4 June 2021)

SWEET TOOTH (L to R) STEFANIA LAVIE OWEN as BECKY, CHRISTIAN CONVERY as GUS and NONSO ANOZIE as TOMMY JEPPERD in episode 105 of SWEET TOOTH Cr. COURTESY OF NETFLIX © 2021

Based on the DC Comic book series by Jeff Lemire, Sweet Tooth is set in a post-apocalyptic fairytale about a hybrid deer-boy and a wandering loner who embark on an extraordinary adventure.

From Executive Producers Robert Downey Jr., Susan Downey, Jim Mickle, Beth Schwartz, Amanda Burrell, and Linda Moran, Sweet Tooth tells the story of “The Great Crumble” that wreaked havoc on the world a decade ago that lead to the mysterious emergence of hybrids — babies born part human, part animal.

Unsure if hybrids are the cause or result of the virus, many humans fear and hunt them. After a decade of living safely in his secluded forest home, a sheltered hybrid deer-boy named Gus (Christian Convery) unexpectedly befriends a wandering loner named Jepperd (Nonso Anozie). Together they set out on an extraordinary adventure across what’s left of America in search of answers— about Gus’ origins, Jepperd’s past, and the true meaning of home. But their story is full of unexpected allies and enemies, and Gus quickly learns the lush, dangerous world outside the forest is more complex than he ever could have imagined.
